Corporate social responsibility

PBT Group is a responsible corporate citizen, whereby the brand is involved in various CSI initiatives ranging from local soup kitchens, to the provision of IT equipment to schools in previously disadvantaged communities. During the 2019 financial year, PBT Group’s main CSI beneficiary was the Hillsong Africa Foundation Innovation Hub in Gugulethu.

The Hillsong Africa Foundation Innovation Hub

The Hillsong Africa Foundation (HAF) was born in 2010 out of a desire to respond to the vast array of needs and challenges in South Africa. The Foundation’s vision is simple and clear: “Building lives that will build the nation.”On average, 1 800 lives are currently impacted weekly through 50 programs run by 250 volunteers in 9 regions across South Africa.

HAF has been actively involved in Gugulethu since 2010. HAF’s relationship with the community began with donating wheelchairs to differently-abled children at Tembaletu School for Learners with Special Education Needs, which resulted in building a dormitory for 42 of the most vulnerable students. After successful handover to local government, HAF joined forces with local stakeholders to build a school hall at Tembaletu. HAF is currently running kids after school clubs, a young leaders program, an art program, an employment program and personal development courses for men, women, new parents and students.

Due to the long-standing relationship with the community of Gugulethu, building an Innovation Hub is the next logical step for HAF to offer a premium experience to combat youth unemployment and to strengthen families.

The Vision

To create a state-of-the-art space that accommodates a premium experience where families are strengthened and young people can be equipped to connect to the local and global economy.

This space will be a mixed-use space that not only creates an attractive urban environment in the communities, but also houses a range of functions/ programs including, but not restricted to and entrepreneurship hive, graphic design, web development and coding training, retail spaces, classroom spaces for education and seminars, homework club, café and kitchen, indoor and outdoor sports facilities, leadership labs, library, recording studio and cinema, as well as family empowerment courses.

With an extensive network of connections with local businesses, schools, government bodies and community stakeholders, HAF will work tirelessly to resource the various phases of the project in order to see Gugulethu transformed over the years to come.

With the Hub placing a large emphasis on ICT training opportunities, the Company sees this as a great opportunity to further extend our involvement in terms of time and effort, both from PBT Group as a business, whilst also creating opportunities for our employees to give back to the community.

Training and skills development

PBT Group’s consultants have been exposed to various technologies and industries and their wealth of experience has ensured the success of every client engagement. PBT Group is also committed to growing the available skills base and enhancing the quality of skills currently in the marketplace. This is being addressed through a specialised internship programme, which has allowed entry into a very competitive market for more than 160 BEE candidates to date. This programme was established in 2004 and is repeated annually.

Past and present

PBT Group was founded as Prescient Business Technologies in 1998, starting out as an information technology company. In 2000, PBT was established as a specialised BI company with data transformation as a focus area, providing integrated business intelligence solutions to a wide range of industries, including finance, insurance, telecommunications, retail, petroleum and medical healthcare.

Following developments in the company structure, and with the acquisition of a SAS entity and PBTit, Prescient Business Technologies was renamed to PBT Group. In 2004, PBT Group extended its Cape Town and Johannesburg presence in South Africa to Melbourne, Australia, officially establishing a Melbourne-based offering in 2008.

The group’s ongoing growth strategy lead to the acquirement of three specialist technology-focused companies – BI-Blue Consulting, CyberPro Consulting and TBIS. It is part of PBT Group’s continuously evolving approach to meeting the changing needs of clients within the sphere of technological advancement.

With a global client base that includes prominent companies in major industry sectors, PBT Group is proudly listed on the JSE.
